Honest Ed's
Honest Ed's is a landmark discount store located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is named for its proprietor, Ed Mirvish, who opened the store in 1948 and oversaw its operations for almost 60 years, until his death in 2007.
==Location==
Honest Ed's is located on the corner of Bloor and Bathurst Streets, running the length of the block. The exterior is covered with huge red and yellow signs advertising the name of the store, lit up like a theatre marquee. The store sign uses 23,000 light bulbs.〔City TV News ("Think You Know Mirvish? Some Honest Ed Facts That May Surprise You" ) 11 July 2007 (Accessed 15 September 2007)〕 The outside facade is covered with puns and slogans such as "Come in and get lost!" and "Only the floors are crooked!"
The store consists of two buildings connected by a walkway that links up the west building on Markham Street and the east building on Bathurst Street. The interior is modest, with simple displays of low-priced merchandise, ranging from vacuum cleaners and winter coats to kitchenware, toys and grocery items. Much of the store's decor consists of posters and photos from old films and stage productions from Mirvish's theatres in Toronto and London, England, and of actors and musicians who performed in them (many of these inscribed to Ed Mirvish himself). Every piece of store signage is hand-painted.
